SCE Corp delivers cladding installation, replacement, maintenance and façade remediation for strata committees, building owners and commercial property managers across Sydney and NSW. On residential, strata and commercial buildings, our team coordinates access, substrate assessment, façade interfaces, materials, support systems, installation sequencing, quality records and closeout.
Your project is backed by SCE’s qualified building, civil and construction engineering capability, NSW DBP registration, current ISO-certified systems and more than 5,000 delivered projects. Where combustible or non-compliant cladding is identified, SCE coordinates the specialist fire-compliance and recladding pathway.
Planned installation of project-specific cladding systems, including access, material handling, substrate coordination, support systems, interfaces, sequencing and quality checks.
Staged removal and replacement where existing panels are damaged, deteriorated, unsuitable or being replaced as part of a broader façade or remedial project.
Investigation and targeted work involving panels, joints, sealants, flashings, fixings, corrosion, water-entry pathways and other façade defects.
Each cladding project is planned against the building, scope, access, approvals, safety requirements, design responsibilities and required delivery outcome.
SCE’s product knowledge has been developed through meetings and factory visits with manufacturers, suppliers and fabricators. We compare suitable options against the building’s exposure, system weight, appearance, maintenance requirements and budget. For a coastal property, that includes the specified coating, corrosion exposure and the cleaning obligations the owner can realistically maintain.
We explain the advantages, limitations and maintenance requirements in writing so clients can make an informed choice. Where a council order or regulated design applies, proposed substitutions are reviewed through the responsible professionals and approval pathway before procurement.
Explore the services below to match the building’s condition, project stage and required outcome.
Review existing façade information, material evidence, visible conditions and project requirements before determining the next step.
Explore material categories and the durability, maintenance, fixing, design and evidence considerations that affect selection.
Assess reported defects, available warranties, installation records and the responsible parties before repair or replacement decisions.
Understand project-specific NSW DBP requirements, documentation pathways and the separation of construction and practitioner responsibilities.
Consider exposure, corrosion, coatings, joints, cleaning, access and planned maintenance over the façade system’s service life.
Review installation requirements for suitable systems supported by the applicable project design and evidence.
A recladding proposal needs to make sense to the people approving and living with the work. SCE has attended owners corporation AGMs to explain proposed works and answer questions directly. For cladding, we explain material and colour options, expected durability and cleaning needs, access restrictions, temporary weather protection and the effect on residents.
We compare suitable options against the building’s location, coastal exposure, support structure, maintenance preferences and approved design. A lighter panel, a different finish or a lower purchase price is useful only if the complete system suits the project. Owners receive the practical advantages, limitations and cost implications so their selections can be documented before procurement.
SCE is a DBP-registered building practitioner. We identify who is responsible for the regulated design, declarations, construction and relevant inspections, and verify the appointed practitioners for their work. Our DBP cladding guide explains these responsibilities. Owners and committees seeking another proposal can send the existing scope and reports and ask us to present the options at their meeting.
Managing Director Frank MANESH brings civil and construction engineering experience spanning façade replacement, structural modifications, remedial investigation and existing-building upgrades. That experience informs how SCE connects the wall design, supporting structure, weatherproofing, access and construction sequence.
Operations Director Farshid MANESH brings estimating, procurement, programming and site-delivery experience, while Accounts and Design Manager Sahar MANESH supports design coordination, drawing registers and technical submittals. Together, these capabilities help owners progress from an identified façade issue to a defined, coordinated construction package.

SCE delivered the construct-only replacement of nominated combustible façade materials to issued regulated designs. Exposed framing, flashings, fixings and sealant interfaces were reviewed through the project inspection process. SCE responded to consultant comments with photographs and assembled installation, product and as-built records for contractor closeout.

Cladding replacement completed in 2019, including scaffolding, safety equipment, trade coordination and installation of Fairview Vitracore G2 façade panels.
EPS is a lightweight insulating material used in some composite façade systems. Its presence, wall construction, fire behaviour and suitability should be established from reliable project and product evidence rather than appearance alone.
ACP products contain aluminium outer skins bonded to a core. Products that look similar externally can contain materially different cores, so branding, batch information, test evidence and project documentation may be important.
Material identification does not, by itself, determine whole-of-façade compliance. The complete system and its project-specific application must be considered.
Labels and panel markings can assist an investigation, but they must be interpreted with supporting records and applicable technical advice.
| Evidence source | What it may establish | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Panel labels and markings | Possible manufacturer, product range, batch or core designation. | Labels may be absent, incomplete or not representative of every elevation. |
| Drawings and specifications | The product or system originally documented for the building. | The documented product may differ from what was installed. |
| Invoices and delivery records | Products supplied during construction or later replacement. | Records must be connected reliably to the relevant building areas. |
| Sampling and technical assessment | Physical information about selected installed materials. | Sampling methodology and representativeness require appropriate professional judgment. |
| Test and suitability evidence | Performance information within the stated test or assessment conditions. | Evidence must apply to the relevant product, system and proposed use. |
Fixing systems must follow the approved project details. The examples below illustrate common approaches and are not installation instructions.
SCE delivers and coordinates the cladding construction package within the agreed scope. Where design, declarations, certification or approvals require separate appointments, SCE engages or coordinates appropriately qualified, registered, licensed and insured specialists while maintaining clear responsibility boundaries.
On one occupied cladding project, residents asked for their balconies to be cleaned after each shift. SCE included that daily clean in the delivery arrangements. We discuss access, protection, cleaning and handover with the people affected, then price and programme the agreed requirements alongside the façade work.
Seventy-two people died in the Grenfell Tower fire in London on 14 June 2017.
The rapid external fire spread demonstrated why unknown combustible façade materials, cavities, insulation, fire barriers and installation details cannot be treated as merely cosmetic building issues.
If your building’s cladding composition or approval history is unknown, do not assume it is suitable solely from its appearance.

SCE delivers cladding installation, replacement, maintenance and related façade remediation for strata, commercial and residential buildings. The final scope is defined from the building, existing conditions, access, approved documentation, responsibilities and required project outcome.
Available drawings, specifications, invoices, labels and maintenance records should be reviewed first. Where the evidence remains incomplete, appropriately planned inspection, sampling or specialist assessment may be required.
Sometimes. The decision depends on access, emergency paths, noise, dust, security, balcony or window restrictions, weather exposure and the nature of the material being removed.
Repair targets defined defects where the retained system remains suitable. Recladding involves staged or complete replacement and generally requires broader investigation, access, interface coordination and documentation.
No. Whole-system suitability may also depend on the building, approved design, insulation, cavities, membranes, fire barriers, fixings, interfaces and supporting evidence.
The scope may include membranes, flashings, joints, drainage paths, sealants and interfaces around windows, balconies, roofs and penetrations. The applicable details must be established for the project.
Yes. SCE is a DBP-registered building practitioner with qualified building, civil and construction engineering capability. We coordinate cladding construction with the required regulated designs, declarations and inspections, with each practitioner’s responsibilities defined by the project appointment.
Provide the property address, photographs, known façade materials, drawings, reports, notices, defect history, access information, occupation constraints and the outcome being sought.
A panel supply rate per square metre does not cover a full recladding project. The total also depends on removal, scaffolding or other access, substrate repairs, temporary weather protection, window and balcony junctions, design and approval requirements, and handover records. To prepare a useful estimate, start with the measured façade area, building height, existing materials and condition, and proposed replacement system. Use SCE’s cladding estimator for an initial budget, then send drawings and photographs for a scoped project review. Timing also depends on material lead times, access and staging around occupants.
Compare the same façade area and replacement system, then check who includes access, temporary weather protection, substrate repairs, window and balcony junctions, inspections and handover records. Ask each contractor to identify provisional quantities, exclusions and design responsibilities. Relevant completed projects and a workable occupied-building sequence help demonstrate delivery capability beyond the price of the panels.
Yes. SCE can arrange to attend and explain material and colour choices, maintenance, access, resident disruption, cost assumptions and the required project responsibilities in plain language. Share the existing reports, proposed scope, meeting date and owners’ questions when arranging the discussion.
Requirements vary but may include product information, photographs, inspection records, test results, defect close-out, warranties and other project-specific handover documents.
Send SCE the building address, photographs, reports, drawings, access information and the required project outcome. Our team will review the evidence, confirm the appropriate cladding pathway and identify the scope, access, approvals and specialist inputs needed to progress the project.
